Out of curiosity, why do you use Ghostery rather than uBlock Origin? It was quite controversial back in the day, but seems to be open source and stuff now. I still don't see any advantage over uBO, though, so I wonder what would move you to use it instead.

You don't even need higher end ear buds for replaceable cables anymore. Moondrop CHU 2 are 20-25 € and come with a replaceable cable. The DSP version comes with a nice usb-c cable.

Just make sure to get them from an official retailer; Chinese stuff like this often sells returns on Amazon, non-specialized retailers, etc. Hifi retailers like linsoul, Hifigo, Shenzhen audio, are the only ones where you'll reliably get a working product. Otherwise the quality is quite good.

My Sennheiser HD600 have been basically indestructible for almost 10 years now. Other headphones have had minor issues, but the wired Sennheiser stuff seems to be incredibly well built. Highly recommend.

There's also the more modern and powerful zstd. Better than 7zip/xz and far more flexible.

I thought Swift is currently Block-Chain based. Do you mean this Swift?

Every politian should read this comment. I can't believe the people who control our society are so tech-illiterate... see KOSA in the US :(

TLDR: digital audio player with 3.5 and 4.4 mm outputs, a Cirrus Logic CS43198 DAC, Bluetooth 5.3, and USB DAC functionality.

Pros:

  • Linux based system
  • physical volume wheel
  • looks cute and well-made
  • Bluetooth
  • good DAC
  • low THD+N: 0.0015%
  • competitive price
  • EQ, unclear if parametric EQ

Cons:

  • Kickstarter
  • only up-to 256 GB storage (my library is ≈ 550 GB)
  • low-res Bluetooth, only SBC support
  • mediocre op-amp, RT6863, only 61+61mW@32 Ohm, basically unusable for headphones
  • there's a lot of good competition, see Fiio's Echo Mini, Echo Nano, Disk, Qudelix-5K.

The ionic 5 is really good, imho

Fyi, Reaper and Bitwig both have excellent, native Linux support. If you're willing to re-learn a DAW, both of those are great choices. Reaper is by far the best mixing & mastering DAW out there, IMHO. Bitwig is great for composition and has awesome, intuitive modulation features, as well as great stock plugins and MPE support.
